“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
‘Do you know what choice my Lord gave me on this night?’ We said:
‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ He said: ‘He gave me the
choice
between admitting half of my nation to Paradise and
intercession, and
I chose intercession.’ We said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, pray that we
will be among its people (the people for whom you
will intercede).’ He
said: ‘It is for every Muslim.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 37, Hadith 218
